Friday on my mind
Pain heals, chicks dig scars, Freeones lasts forever
Not true at all.She has as Gov. of Alaska been for having "intelligent design" (what they call "creationism" these days) taught in the schools as an alternate theory to evolution.
Just as McCain can't control everyone who might be in opposition to Obama,Obama can't control what blogs do or say or the media for that matter.At least what the left is saying about Palin has some truth to it,unlike what the things that are said about Obama on right wing blogs like he is a muslim etc.It's not just left wing blogs that think Palin's selection is newsworthy for many reasons but every mainstream media outlet there is does as well.But I know they are all part of the liberal conspiracy.
Her daughters pregnancy is only a fair issue IMO because of her positions publically on sex ed,contraception and abortion.There are some things that have been said about her like she has no buisness with such a large family being involved in politics or working at all that are just seixst nonsense and not fair at all.And her husbands 20 year old DUI arrest is also not an issue and actually has not been made one by anyone.
Since she is really so unknown it is the medias job to try to get the story out good and bad of who she is.After all if she is going to be running for VP,people should know siomething about her,shouldn't they?
We can't just rely on the scripted depiction of her coming from the pubs.We are already learning that some of the positives they presented about her have told the whole story.Like the claim she is a reformer against earmarks and pork.Now it is reported she was for "the bridge to nowhere" before she was against it (familiar sounding line) and that when she was a mayor hired a lobbyist to lobby to get stuff(earmarks) for her city.
So the truth is we have a lot to learn about who she really is.
But I think the real story here is McCain and his judgement and selection process that led to her being chosen.I love the way everyone arguing for her selection just ignore my post from the NY Times(which is no different than any other media story on it) that say she was a last minute pick(don't pick a pro-choice person like Lieberman or Ridge John! replacement) and that they knew very little about her except she was a woman and was a conservative.The McCain people are still in Alaska looking to see what else they are not aware of about her that might come out that would be an issue.If this is the way he handles the single most important decision a presidential nominee makes before the election,what does that say about his judgement and how he might make rash decisions as president.He actually is looking more and more like GWB in that way,which I think is sort of surprising.
Now to your analysis of my interest in politics and this is not the first time you have mentioned this I would ask ,do you have any mirrors.In other words WTF is your excuse??:1orglaugh
At least I don't go round with whack conspiracy theory's like McCain was not the pubs pick but the result of a media/George Soros effort.I find your posts as you find mine apparently eithier difficult to read as well or many times to be just flat out funny they are so far out in left field,or should I say right field?
If you watched the convention last night which I thought overall looked pretty weak,the theme was McCain is a maverick more than a republican and they are actually trying to present themselves as the party of "change" in this election.After 8 years of GWB with them in control of congress for most of that time as well that is one helluva of a claim by them.But what else can they do ,they can't win being tied to GWB and the last 8 years.That's why they selected McCain he has the best chance of being seen as different than GWB than the others who ran.I even thought McCain was not the same as most pubs and more pallatable,but with this selection of Palin a hard right choice I have lost that notion.I could maybe see McCain as president but her,no thank you.
